    target(
        name="hello-world",
        runs=[
            write("hello-world.txt", "Hello World!"),
    
            # or, you can use the shell, but it's not recommended:
            # shell(f"echo 'Hello World!' > {path('hello-world')}/hello-world.txt"),
        ],
        outputs=[
            "hello-world.txt",
        ],
    )
    
  • Run makex and the target:

    makex run :hello-world
    
  • A file at _output_/hello-world/hello-world.txt will have the following contents:

    Hello World!
